Sushidokoro Kanda: Enjoy sushi made with fresh fish only available in Aomori

There is a sushi restaurant where you can enjoy the seafood of Hachinohe to your heart's content, something that can only be tasted locally.

Sushidokoro Kanda is located in a corner of Muikamachi, which is bustling with many restaurants. This restaurant is popular with locals and tourists alike, as it serves rare fish that are only available in Aomori.

There are counter seats where you can watch the chefs at work right before your eyes, and private rooms where you can relax. In a warm atmosphere, you can enjoy sushi prepared by chefs who know all about the charms of Aomori.

If it's your first time here, we recommend the "Omakase Sushi Kaiseki (8,800 yen)." This is a great value course that lets you enjoy the most delicious ingredients of the day.

Water octopus, which cannot be eaten unless it is very fresh, can be eaten in its entirety, including the head, legs, gills, and milt.

"Cod stomach and cod roe with dried mullet roe" is a delicacy that goes perfectly with Aomori's local sake. It is a masterpiece with a condensed flavor that will make you want to drink more and more.

The "Budou ebi" (grape shrimp), also known as the mythical shrimp, is characterized by its richer, thicker flesh than botan ebi (botan shrimp). This is also a miraculous delicacy that can only be enjoyed in Aomori.

The rich-tasting, fluffy crab meat melts in your mouth, and you can even taste the miso and crab roe. The rice, made with 100% Aomori rice, crumbles easily, enhancing the texture and flavor of the ingredients.

The tuna caught in the Tsugaru Straits is served in a luxurious 3-type tasting menu. You can experience authentic sushi with the "akami" (red meat) with a refreshing sour taste, the "chutoro" (medium fatty tuna) with a moderate amount of fat, and the "otoro" (fatty tuna) with fine fat that melts in your mouth.

Following the tuna tasting, we had the chance to try different sea urchins. The "Bafun sea urchin" has a subtle sea flavor and a rich sweetness, and the "Murasaki sea urchin" has a smooth texture and a refined sweetness.

Enjoy the ultimate sushi experience while enjoying the techniques of a chef who knows all about the charms of Hachinohe, rare fresh fish and delicacies that can only be tasted here, and local sake.

"Festa" - delicious spice curry made with original spices

There is a specialty curry restaurant in Hachinohe where you can enjoy spicy curry made with ingredients from Aomori.

The bright red building of "Festa" is vivid and impressive. The name "Festa" means festival, and the restaurant aims to create an extraordinary space.

The interior of the restaurant is filled with log tables and chairs, and greenery is scattered here and there, creating an exciting atmosphere that makes you feel as if you've visited a log cabin.

Let's get started on the curry we've been looking for. The monthly curry themed on local produce and spices is the "Mihono Pork Massaman Curry Simple Plate (1,210 yen)." It's a very popular curry, colorful with accents of coconut and coriander. It comes with a soup of the day, and you can choose the amount of rice from 300g, 210g, or 160g.

The chunks of Hachinohe Mihono pork are juicy and tender, yet refreshing to eat. The coconut and coriander are fragrant, and the fluffy potatoes are irresistible.

The "Two Types of Mixed Curry Simple Plate (1,760 yen)" allows you to enjoy popular curries at a great value, and you can choose two from chicken leg curry, Bizen curry, and Hachinohe spice curry.
On this day, we had a mix of the basic spice curry "Chicken Leg Curry" and the oil-free, 100% plant-based medicinal curry "Bizen Curry".

The tender chicken falls apart easily when you put your fork into it, and the flavor of the spices is concentrated here, with a pleasant taste of tomato sourness and spices.

Bizen Curry is full of vegetables! It's a curry that will give you energy, and is recommended when you're feeling a bit tired or when you want to reset your body. If you add the sauce that comes with it, it will become even spicier and you can enjoy a change of flavor.

Our original curry, made from a blend of spices, is truly a one-of-a-kind dish. Eat it heartily and refresh your mind and body.
